RAW thumbnails (Nikon .NEF)

Latest version of Bridge CC doesn't show RAW (Nikon .NEF) thumbnails - only the NEF icon can be seen. No problem with previous version of Bridge, it happened just after the update!

Hi, found this thread as I was also having issues.  Solved my problem by going to the Camera Raw Preferences in the dropdown from Adobe Bridge. and then Raw Defaults - Master - (changed this to Adobe default)

Hope this helps

Hi, thanks a lot. Meanwhile, and after a 2h-chat with Adobe support, the problem has been solved: We've installed Bridge again and after that it worked!

    I have also been having this problem with NEF's downloaded from my Nikon Z5. In additon, I also noticed that I can not convert NEF files to DNG while downloading. I get an error message:

    NEF's from my Nikon D750 work properly with Photo Downloader, as do raw files from my Pentax X-70. When I connect my Z5 directly to my PC via USB cable, image thumbnails appear as they should, but I still cannot convert NEF's to DNG.

    Hi Hubert,

     

    Here are two things to try, if the first one doesn't work, than try the 2nd (and might be a good idea to do both as a maintenance option).

     

    1st: go to your Preference and tap on Cache Management and select Purge cache:

     

    2nd Reset your Bridge's Preferences:

    When launching Bridge, Command-Option (Mac)/Control-Alt (Win) + Shift to choose “Reset Preferences”, Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache,” and/or Reset Standard Workspaces.”

     

     

    Let us know how it works out.

      Unfortunately it didn't work... I tried both, but had no success.
      There is another bug, I've noticed: For the RAW files, no IPTC or EXIF data are shown, while they are for the jepg files (see below)
